That is why I quit trying to quit partially...it would just stress me out so I'd smoke more. I find limiting how much I smoke works better because trying to quit also means more time thinking about smoking which increases the urge to do it more.

50 a day does sound like a lot, certainly not healthy at worst I might smoke a pack in a day....so I'd recommend trying to cut down but without pressuring to 'quit'...the quit entirely thing doesn't work for everyone it seems and can make one want to smoke more in my experience. I would probably be smoking more if I didn't smoke american spirits since most kinds burn quick and leave me wanting another one quite soon.
